screaming fast thoughts

hi alison, i get this as well i have suffered from cluster migraines from about the age of ten and i sometimes get this fast thought. it feels like my thoughts are running all around my head yelling much like a busy restauraunt . it makes me feel dizzy and confused. i do not lnow what this is i dont think i have bipolar either. i often get it when ive been alone or not spoken and sometimes when under pressure or stress.

Hi, Ive been experiencing this exact feeling for as long as I can remember. Its weird and uncomfortable. I tried to talk to my parents about it before but I dont think my words really explain it as well as yours. I sent my Dad, whos a psychiatrist, this page and he thinks it might be a symptom of ocd. But I think theres more of a dysphoria when it happens, like an out of body feeling. Anyway, I was wondering if you, or anyone else here, has received diagnosis for it.

Hi! I'm 16 and i get this too. It started around the time i went on amphetamine medication for adhd. For me this feeling happens when its really quiet and im still. Suddenly my thoughts get super super chaotic and loud and i hear screaming in my head, but i know its not real because it doesnt sound like anyone els can hear it. Kind of like the noise is coming from a speaker in my head. Sometimes touch will trigger an image in my head of white space being crowded with spazzing black lines kind of and the noise will get really loud when the black static lines come in. But other times theres no imagery that follows and its just loud chaotic screaming and noise. Also when i move i feel like im moving super fast, like a woosh of fast movement super sudden and makes me dizzy. All noises get super loud, and everything look farther away, kind of see tunnel vision too. Its really scary for me and makes me anxious when it happens. It will go away for months and then come back with seemingly no reason? Im curious to see if any of us have common simmalarities that could be the cause. Me personaly i have insomnia and perhaps sleep deprivation or poor sleep can cause it?. I also take dexedrine which is an amphetamine, perhaps that could be a cause. In the past i have suffered from severe migrains and i would hear this screaming in my head aswell. But now i havent had a migraine in years and still hear it. Let me know if u have any idea of the cause or share similar possible causes as me

I can relate cause lately at times my thoughts feel just like that. Very random, weird and racing thoughts that can distract me during the day and keep me up at night. My father is bipolar and I feel if I doctor would diagnosis because of my family history and my history with depression. Its getting better cause I do feel more stable and less. I'm just glad to do it without pills.

I have been experiencing this since I was a child, but I could never find the words to describe it. I have OCD and anxiety/depression so I think it's linked, I just can't find any rhyme or reason to it. It is less frequent now I'm an adult, but I do occasionally get it. I also get it in combination with a strange sensation in my head of mentally touching a small room or a cube, which is as confusing as the loud thoughts phenomenon.

Omg im experiencing this right now as I type this i agree had this as long as I can remember and fore its thoughts or like a voice but not just like a feeling a busy street I thought nothing of it but this is the 2nd time in a row and this goes away for years and months at a time its kinda scary but I don't panic or anything its all in my head kinda crazy Please reach out if you find more info also I only get it when I'm trying to sleep

Hi everyone. I think i'm experiencing what a lot of you guys are experiencing. It started a few years ago where i felt as though things were sped up. The episodes lasted about 15/20 mins roughly and maybe few times a year. I felt anxious because of it. However thankfully it wasn't frequent. But in the past few weeks i have felt loud, fast 'thoughts' i guess you could describe them as. It's more of feeling fast in my mind and sometimes images in my head. It's quite scary. It's nothing to do with physical health. I'm fairly certain it's anxiety but hope i'm not developing bipolar which i don't think is the case. I am afraid.

I have suffered from depersonalization in the past but strangely enough, this doesn't scare me as much and i do NOT feel depersonalised when i have these thoughts (nor these thoughts when suffering from depersonalisation) but occasionally with these fast loud thoughts a different form of detachment from reality- sort of. I actually wish sometimes believe it or not i had depersonalisation instead of this horrible feeling. as it was numb me out. So i repeat don't think this is to do with dp/dr. Anybody found out what this really is? Anxiety is truly horrible if all this is, is anxiety.

Recap- things feel fast and something loud and fast in my head logically i know things are not fast, sometimes can feel disconnected from reality but not depersonalisation or derealisation. Feeling is scary and giving me anxiety, feel like sometimes i might lose control.

God bless folks and hope you feeling peace.

I'm Samantha, 14, and I have been getting almost the same thing since i was probably around 7 or 8. Except mine isn't like being in a loud busy place, mine is people screaming at me. I am unable to make out words but the longer it lasts the louder the screams get. It also makes every movement I make seem rapidly fast. I would really like to know what is going on and how to get rid of it because its interferes with my daily actions. Mine also happens more frequently but lasts for a shorter amount of time.

I have also been diagnosed with ocd recently and i experience exactly what you're talking about. It's overwhelming and kind of incomprehensible because i've never really heard about any other experiences with it. But this could mean it has some link to our disorder but it's also comforting knowing that someone else goes through the same thing as me. Hope you're doing well also : )

I'm 40 and have had this off and on my whole life. like everything is getting faster and louder and faster and louder in my head. it just happens no anxiety incidents or traumatic experiences trigger it. I don't know what it is or why it happens but I've discovered that if I'm experiencing it then I can pull myself out of it by being around some "normal" speed and volume noise so I'll switch the TV on or find someone to talk normally to and it'll bring me out of it. maybe try that and see if it helps. ironically although it's not caused by anxiety it makes me feel panicked. I will say that as I've gotten older its happened less. hope this helps.

I dont know if I'm having the exact same thing but I literally had this feeling like 2 minutes ago. Im 16, I can recall having this feeling only like 3 times in the past 5 years but I used to have this feeling all the time as a kid. Mine only last for maybe 10 minutes but it feels as if my inner voice is screaming my thoughts and my actions are really fast lol this sounds so dumb. Like I has this before when i was writing and i felt as if i was writing extremely fast and when I had it a couple minutes ago I felt like i was typing really fast. I tried googling the symptoms as I was in the moment and what you felt seems very similar. What does this mean for me. I dont think im bipolar or anything
